Setup & Configuration

A properly setup testing environment will help to speed up the testing process. The guidelines in this section are how I have setup my macOS testing platform as well as the iOS and Android devices. This is by no means the "best" or most "efficient" way of doing things. But, it is how I like it. Make your setup be the most comfortable for you to work in.

Also, these are many ways to perform testing. This site is just a couple of ways. There may be, and probably is, better ways out there and I would encourage you to pursue those if you wish. This area of penetration testing is still developing and changing with each release of new devices and OS's.

Lastly, if you are going to be doing any mobile app penetration testing, you owe it to yourself to review and follow the OWASP Mobile App Testing Guide!
